What guests see on your restaurant's public page

Every restaurant on qmen.us gets a short address, like qmen.us/abc, which is your restaurant's face online. That's where people land when they scan the table QR code, click the link you sent on WhatsApp or arrive from a Google search.

Quick answer

Open qmen.us/your-code and you reach the restaurant's public page: menu with photos and prices, description, phone numbers with a WhatsApp shortcut, an address that opens in Google Maps, opening hours and the Open now or Closed badge. If the restaurant has tables set up, they show live as Free or Occupied.

What the page at qmen.us/your-code is

The restaurant's public page is the only qmen.us screen that doesn't ask anyone to sign in. It lives at the address formed by the Restaurant code, the short identifier generated when you signed up: qmen.us, a slash and the code. At the top are your logo, the restaurant's name, the description and the restaurant photo as a cover. Right below comes a line of information: the Open now or Closed badge, today's closing time, the address (which opens in Google Maps) and each phone number you added — a mobile number becomes a direct WhatsApp shortcut.

The body of the page is your whole menu, exactly as you built it: categories in the order you set, with a shortcut bar fixed at the top, and each item with its name, description, price, sizes, flavors and add-on groups. An item photo opens enlarged with one tap. If you set up tables, a Tables block shows availability live, with each one's QR code and the Free or Occupied label. And there's the Share button, which opens the restaurant's QR code, the short link and the posters to download.

Why this page is worth your time

  • Google can index it. The page asks to be indexed and goes into the site's sitemap as soon as the restaurant is active and has at least one active item on the menu. While it has no items, it shows the menu-in-progress message and stays out of search on purpose — an empty page helps nobody.
  • Google understands what's there. We automatically generate the page's structured data: restaurant, address, coordinates, phone, opening hours and the menu with prices in reais. You don't need to touch any of it; just fill in the fields in Settings.
  • One link does it all. The same address works for your Instagram bio, the WhatsApp group, the sign on the door and the table QR code. Because it's short, it fits whole on a sticker, a card or a message.
  • It looks good when someone shares it. Every restaurant has its own social card, with your brand, generated by qmen.us. Paste the link into WhatsApp or Facebook and the restaurant's image shows up, not a gray rectangle.
  • It's free and the order is yours. qmen.us doesn't charge commission per order and isn't a marketplace: guests land on your page, not in a storefront with your competitors right next to you.

How to get your restaurant's public page ready in 7 steps

None of this is required for the page to exist — it has been live since you signed up. Each step below fills in a piece of what guests see.

  1. Open your page from the Dashboard

    At the top of the Dashboard, next to the restaurant name, is the qmen.us/your-code badge with your code. Tap it and the public page opens in a new browser tab, exactly as guests see it. Keep that tab open while you edit: it's your mirror.

    Tip: This address is the Restaurant code, generated when you signed up. There's no field to change it in Settings, so treat the link as permanent before sending anything to print.
  2. Publish at least one item on the menu

    With no active items, the page only shows the message "The menu is still being put together. Check back soon!" — and it isn't offered to Google in that state. Add your items to the menu and leave the Active switch on for every one that should appear.

  3. Set the name, logo, photo and description

    In Settings, in the General block, fill in Name, Logo, Restaurant photo and Description. The photo becomes the cover at the top (the storefront, the dining room or a well-photographed dish all work) and the description is one or two sentences about the restaurant, right below the name.

  4. Add the phone numbers guests can use

    Still in General, use + Add phone for each number. They're public and appear in the information line. Mobile numbers are detected automatically and become a WhatsApp link. The label is optional and helps tell the numbers apart, like Reservations or Counter.

  5. Enter the address and city

    In the Location block, start typing the address and choose a suggestion — you can fine-tune the pin on the map. Also fill in City, State (2-letter code) and Postal code (CEP). On the page, the address becomes a link that opens Google Maps; the city helps with searches like "restaurant in [your city]".

  6. Fill in your opening hours

    In the Opening hours block, tap + Add hours on the day and enter the opening and closing times. You can have more than one time slot on the same day, like 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 22:00. A day with no hours at all shows as Closed.

  7. Save and share the link

    Tap Save and go back to the public page tab. At the bottom is the Share button, which opens the restaurant's QR code, the short link with the Copy button, the WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook and X shortcuts, and the poster downloads: Image in Vertical, Square and Horizontal formats, or PDF in A3 for printing.

Frequently asked questions

Does my page show up on Google?+

That's what it's built for. An active restaurant with at least one active item on the menu goes into the qmen.us sitemap and the page asks to be indexed, with the structured data for the restaurant, opening hours and menu already in place. With an empty menu, we ask search engines not to index it — it's not a penalty, it's so we don't put a page with no content online. When Google comes by is up to Google; we don't control that.

Can I change the code in the qmen.us/your-code address?+

Not from Settings. The code is generated when the restaurant is created and forms the public address; there's no field to edit it on the Settings screen. So check the link before printing posters, table stickers or menus.

Do the tables show up for anyone who opens the page?+

If you have an active table set up, yes: a Tables block shows availability live, with each table's QR code and the Free or Occupied label. Only the table's name and status appear — nothing about what was ordered or who's sitting there. With no tables set up, the block doesn't exist on the page at all.

Can guests order directly from this page?+

Only if you turn on <strong>Self-ordering with the virtual waiter (chat)</strong> in Settings. With it on, the Order online button appears at the top. With it off, the page is a menu to browse, and ordering goes through the waiter or the table QR code.

Do I need to install an app for this to work?+

No. Everything runs in the browser, both for you to edit and for guests to open the page — phone, tablet or computer. qmen.us isn't in any app store.

Is there a cost or commission on orders that come from here?+

No. qmen.us is free for the restaurant and doesn't charge commission per order, and we're not a marketplace: guests land on your page, not on a list with your competitors. We don't process money either — when PIX is used, it's arranged directly between the customer and the restaurant.
